 Installation instructions for the Ampl Vim syntax
 highlighting mode.

===================================================

Place the file ampl.vim in your RUNTIMEPATH/syntax.
To find out what your RUNTIMEPATH is, start Vim and
type the command

 :set runtimepath

You will want to install ampl.vim in the first
directory reported. In Unix/Linux, it will most
likely be ~/.vim. Hence, place ampl.vim in your
.vim/syntax/. If you already have a file called
~/.vim/filetype.vim, add the following to it. If
you do not yet have one create one with the
following content.

augroup filetypedetect
au BufNewFile,BufRead *.mod  setf ampl
au BufNewFile,BufRead *.dat  setf ampl
au BufNewFile,BufRead *.ampl setf ampl
augroup END

This enables the syntax highlighting for Ampl model
files (ending in .mod), data files (in .dat) and
Ampl scripts (ending in .ampl). The suffix .ampl is
my personal choice. Feel free to replace "*.ampl"
above by your favorite extension.

Exit Vim and open an Ampl model, data or script
file. You should now be able to optimize in
technicolor.

Good luck.
